A shirtless man stormed the field during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
He made it nearly across the entire field before being tackled.
The streaker emerged from the south end zone and ran towards the opposite end.
Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams helped security bring him down.
Within seconds, multiple security members piled on top of him to make sure he couldn’t break free.
Security Guard Gets Injured During Chase
The chaos got worse when one of the security guards slipped and appeared to injure his hamstring while leaving the field.
He needed help from colleagues as players stood around waiting for the game to continue.
As he was being walked off the field, the shirtless man was caught by photographers. He winked and smiled at the cameras to extend his five minutes of fame.

Remember the Streaker Who Bet on Himself?
This isn’t the first time someone’s disrupted a Super Bowl for attention. Back in 2021, a streaker called Yuri Andrade ran onto the field during the game between Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But Andrade did something clever. He bet $50,000 that there would be a streaker at the Super Bowl.
At odds of +750, that would have netted him $374,000.
There was just one problem. He couldn’t keep his mouth shut about it.
How Talking Cost Him $374,000
Andrade told a Tampa radio station that he got others to place the bet for him on Bovada. That immediately raised red flags for insider information.
According to Business Insider, the betting website was able to track down his wager easily. If Andrade had made the $50,000 worth of bets in smaller amounts across different accounts, it would have been much harder to trace.
Bovada started working to identify Andrade’s accounts and anyone else who knew about his publicity stunt before kickoff.
A Bovada representative told Front Office Sports: “Our players have always trusted us to ensure the integrity of all props offered in our sportsbook. We will continue to make sure that any publicity stunts or ill-intended behaviour cannot adversely affect the outcome of a player’s wager.”
Bovada ended up paying out fans who bet there would not be a streaker at Super Bowl 2021.
